Applications of Moving Iron Instruments

Applications of Moving Iron Instruments Points : Applications of Moving Iron Instruments Due to the following advantages and uses of moving iron instruments, these are applicable for both a.c. & d.c. circuits. These instruments are robust due to simple construction of moving parts and the fact that there is no current lead to these parts. The stationary parts of these Instruments are also simple. Due to simple construction these instruments are of low cost. Following are the applications of moving-iron instruments.

1. Heavy current moving-iron Ammeters.
2. Moving iron voltmeters
3. Moving iron power factor meters
4. Moving iron synchroscopes
